Well, it's been a while - party I've been busy writing, and partly with other things. The book's coming along well - over 44,000 words now. I think this one will be significant bigger than Ash Spear - possibly around 150,000 words.

After a nice day outside today, Titus found a sunny south window for a nap:

Still making good progress on the book - past 39,000 words now. I took Saturday off to celebrate Samhain (one more time) with SBGH. They're promising us some more snow tonight (sigh), so I spent some time yesterday getting some large broken branches down - elms are not my favorite tree.

Snow again last night and this morning, seven or eight inches this time, I think. At least the power stayed on. Not fun to shovel because the base was heavy and wet, and it stuck to the shovel--not to mention the trees. Didn't get as much written as usual last night due to Welsh class, and also to the nature of the story at this point which requires a little more thought, but I'm pressing on. Over 35,000 words now, or about 97 pages in book format. This one may be a little longer than I thought.

And the next book in the series...

Journeyman bard Gwernin Storyteller accompanies a Welsh princess to Ireland for her wedding. But other members of the party have their own objectives... Set five years after The Ash Spear, this will be the 4th book in the Storyteller series, and the beginning of a new trilogy. Scheduled for publication in late 2015.

Poetry Books

My published poetry series so far includes King Arthur's Raid on Hell and Pryderi's Pigs. Coming soon: Storyteller Songs, a collection of poetry and prose from the first three books of the Storyteller series.
